PRE CARE
Please keep your lips hydrated prior to your appointment. Using a lip balm or ointment of your choice a week before your appointment will help speed up the healing process.
The night before your appointment use a warm damp cloth to massage any dead skin off.
Lip filler can be done 2 weeks before your appointment
IMPORTANT
If you have had a cold sore in the past your must take an antiviral medication 4 days before and 4 days after. I do recommend doubling up your dose the day of your appointment. Some pharmacist can prescribe the antiviral medication, or you can get it from your Dr.
Please remember to get enough for your touch up appointment.
POST CARE
Swelling and bruising is normal for the first few days. To relieve the swelling, you can ice the area with soft gel ice packs.
Your lips will feel swollen and very dry after your appointment. I will provide you with the proper healing ointment.
Please use this for a minimum of 7 days after your appointment to speed up the healing procecss.
Always apply ointment with a clean q-tip
Your lips will start to flake around day 3, do not pick or scratch at them; re apply ointment to soothe.
Avoid direct sunlight for 7-10 days after your appointment. Using a lip balm with a SPF will prolong the life of the pigment.
Avoid saunas, hot tubs, excess exercise until they are healed 7-10 days.
